"What happened, I mean, what really happened?" hushed voices close by. I didn't have the energy to move. "Madam requested to borrow L19 from Holly to… 'analyze her genetics'. I had no idea she meant she'd dose her with Feraxine… It wasn't a dangerous dose but… did you see her quarters afterwards?" this was 5XF's voice.
"Yeah I was ordered to clean it up – me! With the Beta jaspers right there and everything" there was a huff of indignation. "Her desk was completely ruined and her things just… scattered all over the place. It looked like there had been a battle in there – not to mention all the… all the semen on the floor" the last words were said in a whispered hiss.
"R-really?"
"I had no idea Madam had such… appetites. I mean, a human being – with the station full of… more than willing gems…"
"Did you… see her… nude?" 5XF's voice was a little hoarse.
"Yes – oh stars… Effie – you have no idea how lovely she is" there was a sigh. "Though it was disturbing to see that on top of her, snorting and growling like some animal, Madam's member inside its…. inside its cunt!"
"Sshh! Keep it down, Cee!"
"When they were going at it, Madam shouted at me to stand down, just ignored the fact that me and the jaspers were there! We could have gotten it off her in a second, but she wanted it to keep doing what it was doing… Effie, I don't understand…"
"Cee… It's not our place to question Madam's… choices. Be thankful she's not harmed! I've seen what the Feraxine can do in too large a dose – it's… it's not an enjoyable sight. It was developed to encourage the humans to mate – it's given in the food after they've been assigned partners – at an extremely low dose. It counteracts the mood stabilizers and suppressors in the food and makes them… a little feral"
"Yeah I've seen the footage from the mating rituals… But that doesn't come close to what happened last night. From what I've heard of L19 it's supposed to be… 'cuddly' – that wasn't cuddly"
"Stop talking about it then, Cee" 5XF huffed. "Tell me about Madam instead… Was I correct? Were her… most intimate areas a pale blue?"
"No" there was a sigh. "They were a delicate white…" their voices faded into the distance.
I woke up to footsteps approaching. I opened my eyes to see that it was 5XF. She stopped by the foot of my bed and tapped at her screen.
"Come with me" she said. I got to my feet, relieved to find my body aches nearly non-existent now. I followed her out into a corridor and into a different room. "Strip from the waist down, then go stand in there" she pointed to a big metal tube with a see through door on the front. It opened as I approached and I let the loincloth drop to the floor. I stepped inside and the clear door closed. "Put your feet on the red spots and raise your arms to hold onto the yellow handles. I did as she asked, curious and a little apprehensive to what would happen next. "Hold still…" she pressed a button on the panel by the door and a red light swept around me in a circle, humming slightly. Then there was a loud clicking sound and then the light went out. "Step outside" she instructed and I did so, bending down to pick up my loincloth, putting it on again. She took me back to my room and I lay down on the bed at her insistence. A milk drone appeared and she attached the cups to my nipples. I sighed in relief and began to masturbate contentedly. 5XF's face flushed and she left the room hurriedly, grumbling something about 'bestial nature'. It hurt a little that she left, but it felt so good to stroke myself slowly. There was a tiny whirring noise and something in the ceiling moved. A little camera? It was pointing straight at me now and I smiled. Someone was watching me… I liked that…
A day or so later XJ came to get me and took me for a shower.
"There's been a lot of talk about you, did you know that?" she said with a snigger as we walked sedately through the corridors. I looked up at her and shook my head. I was feeling a little unsteady and reached out for her hand. She interlocked her big fingers with mine – that made me smile.
"Talk…?" I asked quietly.
"Yeah, about your little adventure with Alpha 1XA" she gave me a proud look. "Beta-XC hasn't been able to shut up about it – or stop jacking off to it" she sniggered again and then let out a happy sigh. "Honestly, no one's been able to stop jacking off to it. Our cute little Ambrosia, fucking the chief medical officer so hard the floor was covered in cum… That's a real achievement" I blushed a little uncertainly. "Aw…" she said when she saw this. "You should be proud, kitten – I haven't heard Alpha 1XA take anyone to bed in pff… I don't know how long"
"'Kitten'…?" I asked, feeling suddenly very warm and fuzzy inside.
"Yeah, kitten" she smiled. "With those little ears" she looked up at the ears on my hoodie. "And you being so cuddly… There were cats back on Earth, we used to feed one behind the barracks. It brought its babies and they were just… so cute! Everyone's got their little nickname for you, thought I'd add my own. Do you like it?" I nodded emphatically and smiled, leaning against her arm and putting my other hand on her wrist.
"A lot…" XJ grinned broadly, her cheeks flushing a little.
"Hah, that's awesome… We've missed you loads, kitten" she said with a slightly sad look on her face. "I think Shorty actually went to have a nap in your bed, but don't tell her I said that"
"Missed… you too…" I had spent two days in the med ward, recovering – mostly sleeping. But no one had been allowed to see me except for 5XG and the other peridots. They had taken me for several tests, putting me in different machines – I didn't know why, I just felt relieved to get out of there.
"XO told us you don't really remember what happened, is that true?"
"Mmm… Bit… fuzzy…" the memories were unclear, but I remembered how horny I had been. And the… determination to fuck the pale blue gem as hard as I physically could. My cheeks grew a little hot at the recollection of me pushing her up against the wall. "But… pictures… feelings…"
"Yeah?" she looked at me interestedly. We had reached the showers now and I took off my clothes, XJ phasing off her uniform. "Can you tell me what happened before Beta-XC and the others got there?"
"Mmm…" I mumbled distractedly, looking at XJ's breasts. She looked down to see what I was staring at and smiled.
"Do you want to play with my tits?" she asked with a snigger. I nodded and she turned the water on. Her breasts were level with my face. I reached up to lift them and was surprised at how heavy they were.
"Heavy…" I mumbled, looking up at her face.
"Yeah, they're pretty heavy"
"Soft…" they were incredibly soft. And so warm… Her darker nipples were so small by comparison, almost smaller than my own. I leaned in close so her stomach touched my chest, the base of her crotch against my belly button. The tip of her flaccid cock reached my mound. I kissed her left breast gently and she gave a little happy sigh.
"I really like it when people play with my tits… They're really sensitive though" she smiled down at me.
"Careful…" I nodded, kissing her other breast and squeezing both of them gently. Her dick twitched, making me giggle. I caressed her soft skin slowly, dotting little kisses all over her mighty bosom. Soon her cock was erect and she reached down to move it so that it pointed up between our tummies. I paused my kisses for a moment to look down. Her tip protruded from between my breasts, glistening with precum. I arched my back slightly, pressing her member against her a little. She gave an appreciative snigger.
"Getting me all excited here, kitten… And you haven't even touched my nipples yet…"
"Being… careful…" I looked up at her as I resumed kissing her chest.
"Aw… You are so sweet…" she stroked my cheek. I continued massaging and smooching her supple breasts, working my way slowly over to her left nipple. When I finally enveloped it with my lips XJ gave a little stuttering gasp. "O-oh-hh… A-Ah-Ambrosia, stars…" her cock twitched between us, then she moaned as I slowly licked the underside of her nipple, moving softly to the very tip. I spread my tongue wide and slid ponderously back and forth, making her whine and bite her lip. "Your mouth is so soft a-an-ahnd gentle, nnnnhh – ah"
I smiled around her soft nipple, then moved my hand down between her legs, she was dripping wet. My fingers slid over her swollen clit and she groaned lustfully, her hips twitching.
"Mmm…" I hummed, exploring her wetness slowly.
"Ohh… that feels so good… But – ah – could you go in the back?"
I released her nipple a moment. "Never… done… that…" I said quietly, giving her a little smile.
"It's just like fingering a pussy, same technique – or at least that's how I like it"
"How… many… fingers…?" I asked, licking her nipple gently.
"T-two" she panted. I moved my hand slightly, my fingers slick with her juices, slowly making their way to her anus. I circled it a little hesitantly and she moaned. This made me a bit more confident and I slid my fingers inside her slowly. She accepted them into her warmth. "Oh, that's – yes – nice and slow like that – mhm" I kept sliding my fingers in and out at a slow pace and soon she was rocking her hips, her cock gliding between us, lubricated with a large amount of precum. I suckled her nipple tenderly, feeling my pussy juice drip onto my thigh. I switched to her other nipple, kissing my way over to it slowly. "C-curl your fingers a bit?" she asked breathlessly and I did so – her breath hitched and she moaned lustfully, her eyes fluttering closed. Her chest expanded and contracted more rapidly and I could feel her pulse speed up in her cock and ass. "I'm so close – ah – go a little faster – oh!" I picked up the pace, looking up at her beautiful flushed face, her expression was so relaxed and serene. Her breath ramped up and she began to tremble, then she threw her head back, a deep, lustful moan escaping her. Her asshole quivered pleasantly around my fingers as cum spurted out of the tip of her cock, hitting me under the chin and falling like warm rain over both our chests, almost instantly washed away by the hot water. She panted heavily and looked down at me with a big smile. "Oh, kitten…" she said softly, leaning down to kiss me. "Mmmm! That felt so good!" she let out a husky laugh. "Your little tongue is so gentle…" I giggled and felt my cheeks burn pleasantly.
"Very nice… for me… too…" I kissed her chest. "Sweet nipples… very soft…"
"I know" she sniggered, lifting her hand to pinch one between thumb and index finger. "How would you like me to get you off, my pretty kitty?"
"Can I have… your cock…?" I asked, licking her nipple playfully. She grinned down at me.
"Why yes of course…" she grabbed me by the waist and lifted me gently, then changed her grip so my legs were over her arms, her big hands supporting me by my bum. She held me close and moved me up and down a little, her cock sliding over my wet pussy. When I was high up she angled me differently so that the tip of her dick slid inside.
"Ahh… XJ…" I moaned into her chest. "Sl-slow… So bih-big…"
"Yeah, nice and slow…" she purred softly, lowering me carefully. Her cock twitched as my walls opened up for her girth. I gasped with pleasure as she filled me gradually. When she was all the way inside I moaned – she was pressing against my deep spot so wonderfully… "That's where you like it, isn't it? All the way in the back…" I nodded and panted against her chest, my pussy trembling around her entire length, my legs shaking against her arms. "Ah, you're squeezing me so – ah – fuck it feels so good!" she puffed, her chest rising a little faster, a broad grin on her face.
"Grind…" I said breathlessly, then whimpered with pleasure as she began to move her hips in little circles, holding my bum steadily so that the head of her cock wiggled just where I needed it. My entire body seemed to be focused at the spot near my cervix, the pleasure deep and dark and mind-numbingly overwhelming. Shivers went up and down my spine as my breath hitched again and again, my walls contracting and relaxing around her cock in trembling waves. And then – bliss! A cascade of orgasms claimed me, one after the other in rapid succession, my voice rising from a breathless moan to a scream of ecstasy, my hands clutching her shoulders. XJ joined me, thrusting as she came, her cum increasing the pressure inside and I continued to climax – or maybe it was just one five minute long orgasm – I didn't know and I didn't care – my pussy was on fire.
"That was fucking beautiful!" someone called from behind us, a few seconds after my last scream had left my lips. I was completely spent, my head resting on XJ's chest, my body trembling in the aftershocks. XJ turned around instinctively, her thick cock still inside me – this triggered me to peak one final time, a single little grunting whine escaping me. Another wave of warmth came out of XJ's cock and she groaned in surprise, clutching me to her as she twitched and shook. "Oh, sorry, I thought you were done with that last one – hah, stars!" Twinkle Toes came up to us and put a hand on XJ's shoulder. "I just came in here to take a leak and then – oh my stars – just the sweetest most gentle stand up fuck I've ever seen!" Twinkle Toes gushed. "Oh, it was so sexy…" she shook her head slightly and smiled. XJ chuckled faintly, making me gasp and clutch at her as she rocked me.
"Sorry, kitten, lemme just..." she raised me a few inches and her softening cock slid out with a wet sound. I trembled and sighed as her cum came pouring out of me. Twinkle Toes bent down to have a look.
"Damn, XJ… you must have been pent up – you OK there, cutie pie?" she asked, putting a warm hand on my back and stroking it up and down gently.
"Nngghhh…" I mumbled, simply too lost in the afterglow to be able to speak.
"You fucked the words out of her!" Twinkle Toes chuckled and smiled.
"Stars, I need to sit down…" XJ said with a snigger, then lowered herself to the ground, still holding me close. "You are OK, right, pretty kitty?" she asked me and I nodded feebly. "OK, good… fuck… Been a long time since I did it standing up. And so softly too, fuuuuck! You should have seen us earlier – oh she was so sweet, sucking my nips in the gentlest way and fingering my ass… My cock was in between us so I got to rub it on her tummy and between her cute tits – it was great"
"Wow, really?" Twinkle Toes asked, sitting down in the warm spray too.
"Yeah…" XJ let out a long contented sigh. "You and XR seemed to be having a good time last night, woke me up like three times"
"Sorry, we got a little carried away"
"What was it she said? 'Fuck me like Ambrosia fucked Alpha 1XA'?" they both sniggered.
"Yeah – nearly threw my back out. Hey, did you ask her about it?"
"Yeah I did, she said it's a bit fuzzy – then we got a bit… distracted" XJ sniggered and stroked my back. "I'd love to hear it later though, when you've had a little rest, kitten" I nodded against her, my eyelids very heavy. "Oh, I think she's falling asleep, aw…"
"XJ… Maybe this wasn't such a good idea – she was just in the med ward…"
"Grrt… Great... idea…" I mumbled, adjusting my position on XJ's chest and stroking her shoulder weakly. "Wanted… Missed you…" I yawned. "Mmm… sleepy…"
"Ah-haaw…" Twinkle Toes gushed, stroking my back. "She missed us too?"
"Yeah… And she likes my nicknames for her, don't you, pretty kitty?"
"Mhmm…" I hummed, then let out a happy sigh. "Kitten…"
The two of them washed me while talking cheerily to each other, then dried me off and carried me to my room. Twinkle Toes lay down in bed with me, but XJ had to go on shift. I kissed her goodbye and she stroked my damp hair, calling me her cuddly kitten and wishing she could stay for a nap. She left with a happy sigh, then Twinkle Toes stroked my belly softly until I dozed off.
I was standing in a… kitchen? Something was in my hand and I looked down. A… spatula? There was a sweet smell in the air… Waffles… I smiled, feeling happy and relaxed. A little noise came from the floor and something very soft stroked against my bare calf – my smile broadened as I bent to pick the kitten up. She head-butted my chin and purred.
"Where's mama?" I asked her softly. Who was… 'mama'? Someone… important…
There was a sound coming from behind me and I turned around, walking through a doorway into a room with a huge bed in it. On the bed lay a very large person with an enormous amount of beige hair. They were lying with their back turned against me, so I walked around to the other side. They were… asleep? The kitten squirmed in my arms, wanting to be let down, so I put her on the bed. She trotted over the blankets and lay down under the woman's chin.
"Is that mama?" I asked the kitten.
"Yes" she answered in a little girl voice, looking at me with her dark eyes. "Come snuggle with us. We've missed you"
"Oh, I've missed you too… Cake?" I said a little uncertainly.
"It is hard to think" she said sagely, rolling onto her back.
"Yes… very hard" I agreed.
"Come lie down. You must be tired of fighting"
"Fighting?"
"The collar, mommy… And the food they give you. It's making you forget… you. And us" she stroked her cheek against the chin of the big woman. I looked closer at her face… so familiar…
"Tell me more?" I asked, feeling anxious.
"Come lie down…"
I got on the bed, crawling in close to the two of them and putting my head on the woman's arm, looking up into her face. She was a gem… Her nose an angular tear drop shape…
"Sing to us, mommy…" the kitten said with a contented sigh.
"Sing?"
"You always used to sing… I want to chase the butterflies. It's my favorite game"
"What did I sing?"
"All sorts of songs… Happy songs, sad songs… soothing songs…" at her words, the gem's face twisted up in pain. "She hardly sleeps anymore…" the kitten said sadly. "Sing her your song, I know she would love to hear it"
"Our… our song?" I thought hard. After a long time some words came to me. "Wh-who are you… who are you? That I must bow so low… Only a cat of a different coat…"
"I don't like that collar" the kitten said. "You should take it off"
What a weird thing to say when I had started singing like she asked. I took it off, then continued the song – to my great surprise a mass of dark purple and red-black butterflies appeared out of nowhere. The gem grunted and stirred.
"Quick, sing to her" the kitten urged and I began again. The gem settled and her face relaxed, then her eyes opened and I stared into large yellow eyes.
"E-Erica?" she reached out for me slowly, putting a large warm hand on my cheek. "Erica!" she pulled me into a hug, her wonderful scent filling my nostrils. Her name… it was...
"Beastie?" I asked, and then my mind opened up and everything came flooding back - my parents, Sam, Jasper, Victoria, Charlie, the island, Beach City, the gems, Steven, Connie, Greg, Priyanka, Lapis, then the trip that had led us to see… Blue Diamond…
"Honey, I've missed you so much! Oh my stars – where have you been?!" her yellow eyes were so warm and caring, she – she loved me! And I… I loved her… She was my beastie. I was her… little monster.
"The zoo… But I wasn't put in the zoo – they put Greg there… They've kept me as a… pet"
"Pet?!"
"They've drugged me, I'm not myself… I'm this… Half-me… Like all the anger and bad stuff taken away, I'm just… Happy and content? Mostly happy and content… They like me, or they like the drugged out me that is barely me. Just have my most basic instincts…"
"Where are you?!"
"Pink Diamond's Zoo"
"WHAT?!"
"Darling" that's right, I called her darling. "Help me. They're… We're… Holly, she's…"
"What... are they're doing to you?"
"The gems keeping me as a pet are nice, and kind. And they help me after Holly…"
"After Holly does what?"
"She's… raping me…" She stared at me. "It's… bad, but everyone's in the same position, she can do whatever she wants with them… And she likes me for what she can do to me – oh gods – but I'm, oh, I'm sleeping with the others – willingly! Well, technically they're also raping me because I'm on those drugs… But they are kind and I… I want to sleep with them… Or is that the drugs?" I looked at her, tears leaking down my face – I hadn't noticed that was happening. "I'm sorry darling, I didn't know what I was doing… I don't remember who I am!"
"Babe, it's OK…" she hugged me tightly. "We're coming to get you. Right now. I'll find a way"
"What do I do until you get here?"
"Stay. Alive" she looked me straight in the eyes as she said this. "Whatever you have to do, you stay alive, you hear me!"
"But what about…?"
"I don't care if you've slept with some gems – you've been drugged and raped! Of course you need comfort, I know you well enough to know that. And are the nice gems giving you a choice? Do you have to sleep with them?"
"N-no"
"Then don't change anything"
"But what about you?" I looked her in the eye, searching for confirmation, validation, comfort…
"I know that in war, you have to do unpleasant things to survive – if this is what you need to do, then do it. It's no different from fighting. You are fighting for your life, babe. This is keeping you alive… Keep it up"
"But… how do you feel about it?"
"I… understand" her eyes softened and she grasped both my hands. "I know you don't want to do this, you'd never want to be in this situation. I know you'd never willingly cheat on me. I know you want to be with me, here on Earth… As long as you love me when this is over that's all that matters. I want you home, honey" she was crying now too. "Stay alive, do what you need, anything you need to do. I'm coming for you. We're coming for you. I promise, Melamin…"
"Please hurry… I don't know what they're going to do to me next… Oh, darling… They've taken eggs from me…"
"… What?"
"My eggs! Some eggs… not all of them, but… They want me to breed! They've taken my eggs to put into different women so that they can add new genetic material to the human… the human breeding stock!" I felt disgusted and violated. "They may have already fertilized and implanted them – there might be babies on the way!"
"Are you pregnant?!"
"Me? No, no – because I'm Holly's new plaything they don't want me to be, but… Technically they are making me a parent… Oh that's so fucked up!" she looked at me with mounting horror.
"It will all be OK, I promise" she said with such determination that momentarily I wasn't afraid at all. "We're coming for you, we just have to find or build or steal a spaceship or whatever and then we're going to get you and Greg. Steven…"
"Steven?"
"Yes?" me and Jasper turned around.
"Steven!" I looked at him in astonishment.
"Hi Erica" he looked sad. "I've been trying to reach you since you disappeared, trying to find you in our dreams. At first you couldn't hear me. Then you didn't know me. So I thought I'd bring you… home…"
"Oh, Steven, thank you!" I threw my arms around him, hugging him as tightly as I could.
"Is my dad OK?" he asked me worriedly.
"I don't know, sweetheart, I'm sorry – he should be in the zoo and I haven't heard anything bad so I think he's alright"
"OK, good" he looked extremely relieved. I could feel myself fading now.
"Fuck, I must be waking up – I don't want to go! Please let me stay! I don't want to go back there!"
"You won't remember" Cake told me, sitting up. "You can't remember this dream. You will wake up and be sad and upset, but I will keep this a secret from you, mommy. So that you can do… what you need to do to survive"
"I love you all!" I sobbed as I felt more of me fall away. "Tell the others too! I'll do my best! I'll keep fighting! Please hurry up and get here!"
"We love you too" Jasper said with tears in her eyes. "Don't worry. We'll come for you, Melamin…"
Darkness.
I woke up crying in Twinkle Toes embrace. She was looking down at me with concern.
"Hey there cutie-pie…" she stroked my cheek. "Did you have a bad dream?"
It was so hard to think… What had I dreamed about? "Don't… know…"
"Then why are you crying?"
"Sad… Afraid…"
"Aw… It's OK, the dream is over now. You're nice and snug in bed with me and you know I've got your back, don't you?"
"Twinkle Toes…" I burst into tears and clung to her, she wrapped her large warm arms around me.
"Oh, cutie pie, it's OK… It was just a bad dream… You're safe… Sshhh… I've got you…" she stroked my back and rocked me gently from side to side. "It was just a bad dream…"
There was an ache inside my chest, a deep, deep sadness and… longing for something I couldn't put a name to. I cried for a long time, burying my head in Twinkle Toes' chest. She held me close and made soothing sounds until I eventually calmed down.
